Kurd Cudins Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 There's nothing like a chip on your shoulder to motivate. I doubt he has a spot here, but he sounds like he'll give it everything hes got and will be decent competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedskinzOwnU Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 I don't get why these guys are relieved. They could be cut next Thursday as well. There's a big difference between having a chance to make a team - and not having that chance. If I get an interview for a job I really want - that alone is something worth celebrating. It doesn't guarantee the job, but it's a necessary step in the path. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the good thing from his point of view is that he's in control now. That's a good feeling. If he screws up this chance, he can blame himself and doesn't have to be upset that he was never given a shot. That would be a big deal to me.

jimster Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 anyone know what they pay the practice squad guys ? about 4k a week. you make it the whole season, that's enough to live off of until the next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted April 30, 2007 Share Posted April 30, 2007 about 4k a week.you make it the whole season, that's enough to live off of until the next season. Which ain't exactly NFL money, but it beats the heck out of, say, working for UPS. And it looks a lot better on your resume. Makes you look more attractive to other teams. There are a lot of folks out there for whom practice squad looks really good right now. Lots more applicants than there are jobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 Hopefully he impresses enough to get an invite to Training Camp. It would be nice to find a diamond in the rough or two among the UDFA's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

argentina_redskins Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 He seems like a good pickup. We need players to be able to play at least 2 O-line positions. Hope he sticks around, maybe in the practice squad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
